    The document contains two sections with multiple choice questions about fluid mechanics concepts. Section 1 asks about buoyant forces, effects of elevation on the body, stagnation points in velocity fields, steady flow through a control volume, units of acceleration and angular quantities, why liquids are transported in pipes, differences between models and prototypes, stream-wise acceleration in steady flow, critical Reynolds numbers, and differences between hydraulic and energy grade lines. Section 2 asks 5 out of 10 questions about metacentric height, rheology, Eulerian vs Lagrangian descriptions, stream functions, impulse-momentum principle, venturimeters, airplane drag coefficients, and stream functions and discharge in 2D incompressible flow.

    1. Attempt all parts, all parts carry equal marks, write answer in short.

    [2 X
    10 = 20]
    (a) Consider two identical spherical balls submerged in water at different depths.
    Will the buoyant force acting on these two ball be the same or different?
    Explain.
    (b) Explain why some people experience nose bleeding and some other
    experience shortness of breath at high elevations.
    (c) Consider the following steady, two-dimensional velocity field:
    V = (u,v) = (0.66 + 1.3 x) i +(-2.7 1.3 y) j
    Is there a stagnation point in the flow field? If so, where is it?

    significance. In a two-dimensional flow field has velocities along the x and y
    directions given by u = x2t and v = -2xyt respectively, where t is time. Then
    what will be equation of stream line?
    (e) Explain Impulse-momentum principle. A horizontally laid pipe carrying water
    has a sudden contraction in diameter from 0.4 m to 0.2 m respectively. The
    pressure across the reducer reads 300 kPa and 200 kPa respectively when the
    flow rate is 0.5 m3/s. Determine the force exerted on the reduced section due
    to the flow, assuming that friction losses are negligible.

    coefficient (based on wing area) CD = 0.02 + 0.061xCL2. Assume for air at
